Erythronium and Fritallaria Meleagris. When to plant?

[gruuumbleweec]

I am growing these for the first time this year and am not sure when to plant them. Does anyone have advice on this or any other useful tips.

I was planning to plant the Fritallaria in a bed of prairie planting and the Erythronium in the Acer bed. Is this going to work?
Thanks

Fritillaria is very delicate and will do well amongst grasses that are dormant in the winter, leaving both light and root space for it in the spring.

Sorry to be dense but can you explain delicate. Do you mean the roots or the bulbs. I did read that once that once planted they don't like to, e disturbed.

Oops sorry...damn phone

By delicate I mean that if planted close to stronger plants, they will be the losers.

They need a little space of their own, preferably in dappled light.

Think edge of woodland, where the trees thin out but the meadow hasn't started yet.

That is great. Do you know if they are planted early Autumn or later when the tulips go in
